• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AA202 - Number range not defined in asset class & ?

  The SAP error message AA202 indicates that there is no number range defined for the specified asset class in the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module. This error typically occurs when you attempt to create or manage an asset in an asset class that does not have a defined number range.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the asset class you are trying to use does not have a number range assigned to it. In SAP, number ranges are used to uniquely identify assets, and if a number range is not defined for a specific asset class, the system cannot generate a new asset number.
  Solution:
  To resolve the AA202 error, you need to define a number range for the asset class in question. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen.
  Navigate to the following path:
  SPRO -> IMG -> Financial Accounting -> Asset Accounting -> Integration -> Define Number Ranges for Assets
  
  
  
  
  Define Number Ranges:
  
  In the configuration screen, you will see a list of asset classes.
  Select the asset class that is causing the error.
  Define a new number range or assign an existing number range to the asset class.
  Ensure that the number range is set to be internal (if you want the system to generate the numbers automatically).
  
  
  
  Save the Configuration:
  
  After defining the number range, save your changes.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  Go back to the transaction where you encountered the error and try to create or manage the asset again to see if the issue is resolved.
